Annabelle waited until Deano was out of sight before she walked to the front door to lock it. She rubbed her forehead for a moment. God, she hated drama. Annabelle turned towards the stairs and hurried up them silently. She walked carefully down the hallway, making sure not to bring attention to herself, before knocking quietly on the wooden door. Ryan opened the door and looked down at her. "Yes?" He said sarcastically. Annabelle pushed him back and walked into the room. "You've got a big problem." "Nice to see you too." Ryan muttered as he closed the door. He turned to look at the woman who was now sitting on the edge of the bed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "What is it?"

Deano locked his door and then got the journal out from his bag, he had stolen it back from Jace and then took a deep breath before opening it. He looked at the pictures that was being protected by a plastic cover. Deano shook his head and then went to the pages that were ripped out. Why had Jasper kept this kid secret from them? Where was he now? And most of all... would he even want to know them?

"Jasper's kids are here." Annabelle looked up at him, waiting for some reaction. Ryan blinked. "So? Am I supposed to care?" Ryan walked to his laptop that was propped open on the table in the room, and closed it. "Well, from the way that Deano was acting downstairs, he and his brother aren't too pleased about the fact that they have you." She scoffed. Ryan glanced back at her and shrugged. "They don't even know what I look like and, if they are pissed, I'm not worried."

Deano blinked when the words starting to fade in and out. He was freakin' tired and needed some sleep. He shut the journal back up and then put it back into his bag. Jace was right, his dad's words were confusing when you were tired. Deano decided that it was best to not actually look for their half-brother. He shoved the bag off the bed and then laid back, putting his head against the pillow.

Annabelle pressed her lips together, keeping her eyes on him. "How long are you expecting to stay here?" She asked after a minute. "Depends. Why?" Ryan walked towards his duffel bag, shifting through the clothes. "I just need to know how much groceries I'm going to have to get." She commented, standing up from his bed and walking towards the door. "A couple days." Ryan responded, watching as she pulled open the door.

Deano must've fallen asleep because the next thing he felt was being shaken awake and two brown eyes were staring down at him. He sighed and then ran his hand over his head. "Jace?" he asked and looked over at the time. How long had he been out? "You kinda were yelling in your sleep" Jace said and then put the light on, the bedroom door wide open. "Im sure everyone would've heard you, even the people in town" Deano scoffed and then licked his lip. "I guess.." he shrugged and looked over at his younger brother, who at the moment, seemed older than Deano. "Do I want to know what you were dreaming about?" Deano sighed. "Just Unicorns shooting rainbows out their ass" he smiled softly when he heard Jace laugh. "Well Im glad you think its funny."

Annabelle honestly hadn't heard the yelling, but when she walked out into the hall just in time for Jace to hurry out as well, she ducked back into Ryan's room and closed the door. Ryan raised his eyebrows and looked over at her. "You uh...going to warn me some more?" He teased, sitting down on his be and untying his shoes. Annabelle licked her lips. "I don't know why I did that." She admitted, looking over at him. "I think I've been watching way to many James Bond movies."

"Go back to bed kid I'll be fine" he nodded and then nudged his head to the door. Deano felt Jace's eyes on him and then heard the door shut as he walked out. He ran his hand over his face and then closed his eyes. Awesome, he had been yelling in his sleep. Deano shook his head and then got off the bed before grabbing his cell from his pocket. He didnt check it as much as he used to.

"Do you need me to check if the coast is clear?" Ryan commented, humored by the entire situation as is. Annabelle shook her head no and pulled open the door. "Goodnight." She laughed a little, slipping out into the hallway. Ryan watched the door closed and sighed softly.

Deano pushed his eyebrows together when he heard Jessica's voice on his voicemail. He pinched the bridge of his nose and then sat down on the edge of his bed. Deano hadnt spoken to Jessica for a while, he kinda hoped that she had forgotten about him, but clearly that wasnt going to be easy. He removed the phone from his ear and then looked down at the screen, before finding her number and calling it.

Jessica hurried to the cellphone that was lying on the kitchen table, holding it between her shoulder and ear as she stirred the batter in the bowl she was holding. "Hello?" She said, breathlessly. She had two cakes she had to make before morning, and they weren't easy cakes to make.

Deano bit on his lip when she spoke. He couldnt even find his words at all. The voice on the voicemail seemed angry, and she had every right to be. "Its me" he said softly and then stood up before locking his bedroom door once more. "I got your message" he said and then looked around the room.

Jessica paused, setting down the bowl of batter on the kitchen table. "Deano?" She said softly, holding the phone against her ear and pushed her eyebrows together. "Where the hell have you been?" She snapped, not actually meaning for herself to sound that angry or mean. "You just...disappeared."

Deano knew she would go from soft and gentle to pissed in seconds. He sighed softly and then cleared his through. "I know.. and Im sorry" he said and knocked his teeth together. "I wish I could understand it myself but I cant" he didnt mean to make her worry. Hell with how he had left.. he wanted her to get so mad that she wouldnt actually care.

Jessica rubbed her forehead, closing her eyes for a moment. "Are you okay?" She said softly, knowing him well enough to know that if he called, that usually meant something was wrong. She sat down at the kitchen table, stirring the batter slowly with her free hand as she waited for an answer.
